Spielberg has always been a rule breaker and it’s obviously served him well. He spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about his admiration for another rule breaker, President Lincoln. “I aspire to certain things about him that I could do a better job of in my life — like his infinite patience.

That kind of measured restraint, based on the confidence of knowing the desired outcome, is something I aspire to. But I haven’t gotten there.”
